Connecting dimmers
These instructions explain how to connect DMX512 outputs and provide
DMX512 connector pinout specifications. The Insight 2x console provides
three DMX512 output ports, for a total capacity of 1,536 outputs.
Follow these steps to connect dimmers to your console:
1. Verify that your dimmer connector pinout matches the pinout listed
below. If your pinout does not match, contact your dealer or ETC.
Caution: Your dimmer control common must be compatible with con-
sole control common; they must either be the same level, or the
dimmer control common must float. Verify compatibility with your
dealer if you are not sure.
2. Connect up to three DMX512 cables (1,536 outputs) to DMX512
output connectors on back panel of console . Output connector loca-
tion is shown on page 286.

Replacing the auxiliary fuse
If external devices, the RFU, or remote macros fail to operate correctly,
and you suspect the console fuse might be the problem, follow these
steps to replace the fuse:
1. Turn off the console.
2. Remove the power cord.
3. Using a small flat head screwdriver, genly press and rotate counter-
clockwise the fuse holder labeled RFU/Remote I/O.
4. Replace the fuse with a fuse of rating T2.5A. Do not use a fuse with
any other rating. This is a 2.5 amp 250 V time lag type fuse.
